Ingredients
Scale
Sloppy Joe Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Garlic Toast
- 6 slices frozen garlic Texas toast
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef and Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and finely chopped onion. Cook together until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, stirring occasionally. Once cooked through, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce: Lower the heat to low and stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
- Prepare Garlic Toast: While the sloppy joe mixture simmers, bake the frozen garlic Texas toast according to the package instructions. Toast until the bread is golden brown and crisp to provide a sturdy base for the sloppy joe topping.
- Assemble and Melt Cheese: Spoon a generous amount of the sloppy joe mixture evenly onto each slice of garlic toast. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top if using. Place the assembled toasts back into the oven for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the cheesy sloppy joe garlic toasts from the oven and serve immediately. Pair them with your favorite sides such as a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or crispy potato wedges for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- If you prefer a spicier sloppy joe, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
- Cheddar cheese is optional but adds a nice creamy texture and flavor.
- Use fresh garlic bread if you don’t have frozen garlic Texas toast; just adjust baking time accordingly.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness of the toast.
